Mamba Micro X2 ESC combo with 1007 6350kv motor

Putting the X in Extreme!

The Mamba Micro X2 is a refresh of our popular Mamba Micro X. This new ESC increases the maximum input voltage to 4s. We also added DATA LOGGING and our CRYO-DRIVE™ TECHNOLOGY; CryoDrive allows the ESC to run cooler and more efficiently at partial throttle. Like its predecessor, it is waterproof* and has SENSORED MOTOR SUPPORT.

This ESC and Motor Combo is ideal for 1/14th and 1/16th scale vehicles, weighing up to 2.75lbs and up to 3s LiPo. The sensored 1007-6350kv motor allows for smooth startup with heaps of torque and low temperatures.

Important Product Update, 8/2/2022. Due to ongoing supply chain disruptions, we have been unable to manufacture the Micro X2. The parts in question are integral to the onboard 2-amp BEC. In an effort to provide the Micro X2 for sale again, we have removed the internal BEC and are including our external 10-amp CC BEC (a $24 value) with every Micro X2 purchase. This upgraded BEC has a wider range of BEC voltages and much higher current capacity. The retail price for the ESC and combos has not changed. For instructions on how to install the CC BEC, please visit www.castlecreations.com/microx2BEC. If running on 4s, and using two 2s LiPos in series, please refer to this BEC wiring diagram.

This notice is for using the Castle 0808 brushless motors in the Arrma Granite GROM and Arrma Typhon GROM.

Please read fully before using 0808 series motors in these vehicles.
The 0808-4100kv and 0808-5300kv can be used on 2s only in these vehicles. The 0808-8200kv is not rated for these vehicles.
Use of 3s or the 8200kv in these vehicles will void your warranty.

Shaft failures:
We have received an abnormally high number of shaft failures on the 0808 motors in the Arrma GROM vehicles.
After investigation, the root cause is due to improper gear mesh.

The stock motor mount is only designed to work with a 16T pinion (stock size). 2mm bore, 16T pinions are rare and hard to find.
Most users are picking up a 17 or 18 tooth and using it with the stock motor mount.
This results in a tight gear mesh and excessive side load on the motor shaft; this leads to the shaft sheering off.

If you use a pinion other than a 16T, you must use the optional motor mount package (ARA320744)
Or you can use an aftermarket aluminum motor mount with a slide adjustment; but proper gear mesh (lash) must be set or the shaft will break.

Shaft failures due to excessive sideload (tight gear mesh) are not a manufacturing defect and as such not covered by the warranty.

Please use caution! Thanks!
